Re: Bracelet on my LEFT WRIST.

This is my third year attending Coachella and for the past two years I have known someone with a left wristband. If anything, the security guards role their eyes but I've never seen it be an issue. Enjoy your coachella

Re: Bracelet on my LEFT WRIST.

I tried someone's removal technique I found on youtube, but since I tried last years way before this one, the teeth got all up in the band and I ended up having to cut it off. Sad, but I have pictures for memories.

My friend got her wristband off using the twist method. Took 2 people and about 30 minutes. Done only to keep the wristband cloth as a single peice for the scrapbook photo album.

Re: Bracelet on my LEFT WRIST.

Guess it depends on the security I guess. My girlfriend got too excited (her first year going) and put it on her left wrist on the drive to Indio. I went straight to the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens will call thingy, told them my girl is legally blind and doesn't read instructions, and they said that if we kept it on the left wrist, it'd be a gamble. They said security could be strict and send us somewhere else to get it fixed (for a fee) or flat out deny us, or they could be cool and just let us in. Not wanting to deal, I just paid the $20 fee to have it replaced because that was well worth the peace of mind over stressing every day in line if she was going to get hassled or not. They also warned us before cutting it off that if she wasn't the original pass purchaser (they asked for her ID) then there was nothing they could do to get her a new wristband. We obliged, then they cut it off her wrist, confiscated it, and gave her a new wristband and we were on our way.

these are the same people that spent the past 3-4 years posting in security threads about how they just put their stash in their crotch, then come back after the weekend to complain that security was grabbing their junk during the search. gee i wonder why...

This is most likely the case. Worst case scenario, if you bought the wristband personally, then you might have to pay $20. But customer service could give you grief if you aren't the original purchaser and you bought it from a 3rd party, based on what the people at will call told me in my last post...
